Hinsburg Test for Amines You will react the amine with a sulfonyl chloride forming an insoluble sulfonamide of a primary or secondary amine or the soluble salt of a tertiary amine. The insoluble sulfonamide of a primary amine will be made soluble in base (via removal of the slightly acidic proton on N) but that of a secondary amine will not (no proton on N to remove). • Use aniline, N-methylaniline and N,N- dimethylaniline for knowns.

I need help my unknown is an amine after doing a solubility test so I performed the Hinsburg test for amines I know that it is a primary amine but I wanted to know the mechanism in step by step please Reagent used sulfonyl chloride
Hinsburg Test for Amines
You will react the amine with a sulfonyl chloride
forming an insoluble sulfonamide of a primary or
secondary amine or the soluble salt of a tertiary
amine. The insoluble sulfonamide of a primary
amine will be made soluble in base (via removal
of the slightly acidic proton on N) but that of a
secondary amine will not (no proton on N to
remove).
• Use aniline, N-methylaniline and N,N-
dimethylaniline for knowns.
